I'm not a very sociable person, and I don't like chat rooms very much, so it might seem odd that I would write an opinion on a program for connecting to a chat network. But, mIRC is for more than just joining generic chat rooms and going through the same boring a/s/l (age/sex/location) chat with a bunch of people you don't know, who probably aren't even of the gender or age they claim to be. Yes, there are chat rooms devoted to just chat in general, but there is so much more out there. mIRC is a client for IRC (Internet Relay Chat). There are many others out there (such as pIRC) but mIRC is arguably the best, both for beginners and experienced ...  Read the complete review

-Intro- Well the last few years have been great for Internet Relay Chat, The population is growing wildly and that is (in most cases) a very good thing. Its great fun chatting on irc.. especially when you can actually find a decent room with non-idle folk. BUT, with the amount of users using IRC theres bound to be some idiots, and those idiots may try taking advantage of any weakness on your computer or internet connection, so lets talk about some way you can protect / maintain your self and (if need be) your channel. -Personal Protection- Okay, let's say Lamer1 wanted you too loose your connection to IRC.. theres a number of ways he can go about ...  Read the complete review

When I first used IRC, it reminded me of the BBC Basic my primary school had, only the older people will understand that, but anyway. But after a while of use I found that is was as good as any group chat I had used, in fact it was one of the best. It is better that MSN because you can have many people in the room and even people who you dont know. Its also great because you can create rooms, so if you feel like talking about fish, you can start your own room about the slippery little things, people may not use it but you can make it. There is also the ability to give trout slaps to other people. This is great as a trout slap is the deadliest ...  Read the complete review

IRC (internet relay chat) is a great way of meeting people and making new friends, with many servers to choose from. My personal favourite is irc.msn.com because it does not get cluttered up with loads of people using bots and scripts which really annoy me. Microsoft chat is the easiest to use IRC client, and mIRC is the best one of all, because it is VERY flexible and you can customise it to pratically however you want. One of the main problems about IRC is that it is so easy to hack into peoples computers using it. ...  Read the complete review

This server is so great and the people are so friendly apart form providing this GREAT service for FREE they are giving away FREE IRC BOTS to people at no charge which is great by keeping channels controlled. Apart from this, they provide services like ChanServ, NickServ, HelpServ (BotServ for free bots). These services let people register there channels and nicknames so other people can't use it except them. I suggest everyone should come along and have a look and maybe meet some new friends. I hang out there alot now I think it is so great. - irc.ewark.com  Read the complete review
